Im in the same boat have 7 cc in a 10 CC band cant eat more than 5 bites and want to vomit. Its awful I am going Monday to get some Fluid out. I have been overfilled before and trust me you DONT want to be overfilled its very painful and not the way the band should word:closedeyes:

Size should not matter- sorry just my opinion

12 pounds that is not good, do you have restriction? maybe you should get checked by another doc this isnt good

Divorced female 44 years old, have three daughters. Last one to graduate this June. Live On the Oregon coast. banded Aug 2008 PM me is you want to talk

I am there with you so what is the challenge?

I have a 10 cc band with 7 cc filled. I am finally at my sweet spot. I can eat 1/2 cup of food and be stuffed. I try and always eat my meat first so my band fills up and I stay full. Its great to feel full!

I had the same issue my doctor said to eat foods with density as they stay in your band and keep you full. Soup goes in and out in no time.

I am in the process of testing my Gal Bladder I am having a Huda Scan in the morning . I have severe stabbing pain under my ribcage on the right. I read several site on the web and #1. loosing more than 50 lbs can cause your Gal Bladder to go bad 2. You dont need a Gal Bladder to survive, I would not have mine removed just for the heck of it only if its not working right and making me ill. Research the net there is so much info out there and you will learn alot. Also Untra Sounds dont always show stones!

I joined Curves in Nov and I am not very impressed. The staff tends to like to gossip and not pay attention to how members are using the machines. The circut in my opinion gets boring really fast and there is no challenge because it does not change. I am looking into a larger gym with a trainer so I can optimize my workout and get in better shape. Curves is great for beginers but in my opinion if your die hard about getting in shape you will get bored. The hours at Curves in my area are awfull they are set for people who dont work, they are open 8a-11am on Sat and closed sun, m-thur they close at 7p and Fri they close at 6:30 if you work til 5 you have to rush to get there change and work out...The hours stink! ANd for goodness sake they close on holidays! when most working people get the day off GEEEZZ.. Just not impressed its more of a social, clicky gossip club who pushes there products.. Sorry for saying how I feel!

Congrats to you what an awesome job. I feel the same way you do I started at 361 I am now at 254 and feel like a new person I just bought a new bike and plan to go to the gym before work and bike after. My new goal is to get to 200 Its amazing how much more energy and enthusiasm you have to get motivated. The lap Band is the best thing I ever did. Keep up the good work and if you ever want to chat via email let me know.

My insurance required I stay one night.

I have the same problem I cant eat until around 1pm or it gets stuck. I drink coffee and hot tea in the morning and that seems to loosen the band up so I can drink my protein drink.

I drink coffee each morning.

I am the same as you I cant eat until around 1pm or it gets stuck. I am at 9cc in a 10 cc band and have great restriction

There is a Clothing Exchange on The Lap Band talk site. Its a great way to help others with clothes that you no longer can wear. This is a great way to recycle your clothes with a fellow bandster :party: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/groups/clothing-x-change.html
